Cleaned engine bay, took off throttle body and found some black dirt/gunk on it and cleaned it.
Filled up all tires to 40psi.
Got some black ice trees for interior.

They were on 33 but I read you get a little better mpg if you inflate closer to the max(44psi)
And where I travel around 200-250 miles a week I thought why not

Yes but your tires will wear faster in the middle, so not good for them.

Yea but the previous owner im assuming didn't check on them frequently and the tires actually have more tread in the middle than towards the sides.
So it needs to be evened out a bit

I think the wrap really makes it more shinier than paint because with paint it can fade in the summer and lose its luster. Thanks man.

My trim is wrapped in black carbon and it looks really nic, and really easy to do seriously, better than paint IMO.

Agreed. With Carbon wrap I have seen a lot of orange Cobalts out there that have already done the whole carbon interior idea so my buddy introduced me to this orange metallic snakeskin idea and I have no regrets.

Any other suggestions with wrap would be appreciated. I have 7ft of this snakeskin material left.

New member here. Thought this would be a good place to start. Bought an 08 with a broken up front bumper cover (among quite a few other neglected problems). Picked up a new one for $100 from eBay and put on a couple coats of duplicolor/clear-coat.
